United States of America / Re: US naming patterns for married women

I may be incorrect here - but I thought Hilary was a lawyer before her marriage and she used the name Hilary Rodham in that capacity (before marriage). It was therefore her professional name and once married she just added her married surname 'Clinton' to it. 
Lots of women retain their maiden name for profession purposes. I don't think its any sort of naming pattern.
